Francis, der samtpfötige Klugscheißer, geht aufs Land. Was als gepflegter Ausbruch aus den häuslichen Verhältnissen beginnt, wird zu einer wahren Odyssee des Schreckens. Nur zu bald stößt Francis auf einen enthaupteten Artgenossen, und schon steckt er in einer mörderischen Geschichte um blinde Katzen und wilde Jäger, schlaue Verbündete und eine schöne Verführerin. Wenn einer in der Lage ist, die Mordserie zu beenden, dann der neugierige Katzendetektiv. Doch die Grausamkeit der Tiere und der Wahn des Menschen fordern ihren Tribut...

Francis, der samtpfotige Klugscheißer, ist neu im Revier. Als er bei seinem ersten Erkundungsspaziergang auf einen grausam zugerichteten toten Artgenossen stößt, ist ihm klar, daß hier sein Intelligenzquotient gefordert ist. So rollt sich vor dem Leser mit katzenartiger Geschwindigkeit eine Geschichte von atemberaubender Spannung auf: eine Geschichte von serienmäßigen Morden und religiösen Sekten, von Computern und rolligen Katzen, von Wahnideen und Omnipotenzphantasien... Eine Tierfabel, die in einem spannenden und furiosen Finale menschlich-moralische Abgründe enthüllt.
1989
